Abstract

Abstract: In our modern society, with advancements in production, increase of productivity, improvement of work efficiency, and abundant social wealth, living standards are becoming more prosperous, and more people are pursuing a trend of consumption. However, there is also a trend towards minimalist living. Minimalist living has become a style, elevated to an art form, and embodies a philosophical view on human existence. This article begins to explore the philosophical aspect of minimalist living art, discussing some theoretical issues related to minimalist art: its concept, characteristics (duality, diversity, richness), manifestations, importance, offering a new perspective on it. The article tries to clarify the philosophy of the minimalist lifestyle and suggests a few experiences/ lessons for adopting this lifestyle, which is increasingly popular in today’s modern life.
